Independent Researcher Independent Researcher The Witnessed Execution Protocol (WEXP) Core defines carrier-neutral appraisal semantics for execution-related evidence. It defines four distinct content bases, two independent evidence qualifiers, the Boundary Ceiling, exact-claim support, deterministic accept, downgrade, and reject verdicts, composition without inflation, and a normalized interface between evidence-carrying profiles and appraisers. WEXP Core does not define a record serialization, signature envelope, action identifier, authorization model, or evidence-artifact schema. A companion Native Record profile can encode the normalized inputs defined here, and other carriers can do so without adopting that record format.
